Above the Clouds

Tuesday Morning Thoughts

People in Florida and in other places where Hurricane Ian left its mark have had way too much rain and flooding and heartache. Probably, to many, it looks as if they’ll never rise above the calamity. They are brave in facing what needs to be done and doing it. Many people are rushing to help, in any way they can. People deal with tragedy and try to get through, to look to better days.

We in northwest Arkansas have the opposite problem. Things are terribly dry and we really need a good, soaking rain.  That will be appreciated, when it comes, because plants and grass are getting mighty dry. I’m watering flowers and keeping water out for the birds. A family of robins comes to the bird bath about the same time each evening. Robins are sociable birds and I like to think about the family gathering in and talking things over before going to bed.

This planet has always had wicked weather from time to time. Storms come and storms go. We all experience them, whether they are weather-related or emotional or both.

We need to hang onto the lifeline of prayer and hope and remember that somewhere above the clouds, the sun is shining. Thanks to my nephew Steve Day for the photo he took while flying above the clouds.
